As requested from Mr. Haywood, this 930 was equipped from the factory with an adjustable boost knob and an electrical cutoff switch like those in Porsche factory racing cars. The front hood was also treated to two distinctive stripes on the corner of the front hood, in burgundy and gold, applied by Haywood when new.
